Does off-plan property qualify for the Golden Visa?
Yes. Off-plan units bought from UAE government-approved developers qualify, provided the total value reaches AED 2 million. The purchase must be registered with the Land Department and evidenced by an Oqood certificate. Since 2026, the full contract price reportedly counts toward the threshold with no minimum payment percentage required — verify with DLD, as this recently changed.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
